Mature trees add real value to BR7 gardens, but they need skilled care to stay safe and balanced. Our arborists carry out pruning, crown reduction, tree felling and stump removal with minimal disruption. We regularly work near Chislehurst Common and around the lanes leading to St Nicholas Church, where access and neighbour considerations matter. Expect clear advice, clean work areas and respectful handling of your property.
Chislehurst’s large detached houses, Victorian villas and period properties often have established planting and taller trees close to boundaries. That can mean overhanging limbs, shading issues, or roots affecting lawns and paving. We’re used to working around outbuildings, garden rooms, and long driveways, as well as tighter side access in Elmstead and nearby Mottingham. Every job starts with a practical assessment of tree health, structure and risk.
We plan each job around safety, neighbour relations and a tidy finish: protective boarding where needed, controlled rigging for sectional dismantles, and thorough clear-up. You’ll get a written scope of work, transparent pricing, and options that suit your budget and goals. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clear communication and workmanship that stands up over time. If a storm brings a limb down, we also provide emergency tree work to make the site safe quickly.
Working across the London Borough of Bromley, we’re familiar with BR7 parking constraints, long driveways and shared access points. Chislehurst gardens often have mature specimens and boundary hedging that require careful lowering techniques. We factor in ground conditions to protect lawns and prevent rutting, especially after wet weather. Where council constraints apply, we help you navigate checks before work begins.

Tree surgery prices in the Chislehurst area typically range from £200 to £2,500 per tree, depending on size, access and complexity. Most homeowners pay around £300–£1,500 for common work such as pruning, crown reduction or a straightforward felling. Costs can rise where sectional dismantling is needed near buildings, or when stump removal, waste removal and traffic/parking considerations add time.
Most tree surgery jobs take 1–2 days, with smaller pruning or hedge trimming often completed in a few hours. Larger trees, difficult access, or work requiring rigging and controlled dismantling can extend the timeframe. Stump removal may be done the same day or scheduled separately depending on machinery access. Weather, nesting season considerations, and the amount of timber/chip to remove also affect the programme.
Many garden tree works are permitted, but restrictions can apply if a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a conservation area. In the London Borough of Bromley, the council may require an application or notice period before pruning or felling. We’ll ask the right questions, help you check protection status, and ensure the proposed work is compliant before we start.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the services we carry out, covering issues that arise from how the work was performed (for example, poor finishing or incomplete agreed tasks). Tree biology and external factors such as storms, drought, pests and disease can’t be guaranteed, but we always work to recognised best practice to support long-term tree health. You’ll also receive clear aftercare guidance.
Options include crown reduction to manage height and spread, selective pruning for clearance and light, and full tree felling where removal is necessary. We also offer stump removal (grinding), hedge trimming for boundary definition, and emergency tree work after high winds. We’ll recommend the most suitable approach based on your tree’s species, condition and location, plus your priorities for privacy, light and ongoing maintenance.
